Reconnaisance Course/ Advanced Reconnaisance Course

[PAMWE]

I was wondering if someone could tell me about the Reconnaissance Course/ Advanced Reconnaissance Course?  How long, what does it cover, physical test, where, etc.  Thank you.

PM Recce 41?

 

[Chainsaw]

Means send a private msg to Recce41 with your question

 

[PAMWE]

  How do you send a message without an e-mail address?

 

[ImanIdiot]

You just failed your recce course.

You just failed your recce course.

Reminds me of our DP1.

MCpl, could you point me in the direction of the garbage?

Ya know what? How about you transfer to the Infantry. You want to be Recce....LOOK FOR IT!

Go to the above msg link, it is from recce41. Put your cursor in the little green balloon - under his number of posts line - that gives you a "send a message" box,   then PM Recce41.

Thank you for the help TCBF, much appreciated.

 

[TCBF]

Ha! You say that now. You don't know Recce41! ;D

 

[PAMWE]

No such luck.... no one has taken the Infantry Recce Course recently.....

Basic Recce Patrolman - 22 training days (both Regular and Reserve versions) taught at unit level.  Prerequisites: DP 1 Infantry (Pte), ATCIS Op (comms course) and current swim/medical/fitness tests.

Advanced Recce - ? training days (no info on the site) taught at the Infantry School, Gagetown.  Prerequisites of the top of my head: DP 2B Infantry (MCpl), Basic Recce Patrolman and current swim/medical/fitness test.

 

[PAMWE]

Thank you very much for the information.  I'll begin to enquire more at the unit level. 

Pamwe Chete!

Is it possible for armoured recce soldiers to take these courses?

 

[Standards]

By the TP all students are to be Infantry.  However, I know other combat arms trades have taken the Basic Recce Patrolman's Course in the past.  I am not aware of any non-infanteers doing the Advanced Recce Course (which is 40 training days).
